Tax credit for ESL school?

[Rob_TO]

Last year my wife attended an accredited ESL/TOEFL English school in Toronto.

Can anyone confirm if ESL schools qualify for the tuition/education tax credits that are filled out in Schedule 11? I've asked for T2202 form from the school, but the administration people there seemed confused and not too bright so want to confirm it's actually acceptable to claim on taxes.

Thanks! (note, also posted in Taxation section of forum)

A friend of mine went through this last year. ESL courses do not qualify for the tuition/education tax credits. A T2202 will not be issued for an ESL course.

Ahhh too bad, that would have been a nice credit.

Thanks for the reply!
